It was all a clever ruse so they can say that GTA 6 was cancelled due to poor remaster sales.

How so?

Been in playing GTA 3 so far. Just as fun as I remember but better looking.

Only issue is the few dips here and there which is more side of optimization which could be fixed in an update.

Already deleted the ps2-ps4 versions off my external. If you have those, keep playing them. No one is forcing you or forced me to buy it.

If you think a shitty mobile version is better looking then originals then you may need glasses. The "remasters" are just the mobile versions of the games.

They're both mobile ports.

The remasters don't even play like the original versions, they play like mobile versions.

I was also enjoying GTA3 yesterday.

And then the game launcher said I was offline and I tried restarting it and it wouldn't let me reconnect and so I can't play.

It's been offline for almost a full day apparently and they removed the PC version from the store, and there's zero word on Twitter or anywhere else that would indicate they are aware of this.

Just really shitty PR., They know better and they have the money to pay someone to say "Hey sorry the system is down".

Except they're are just ports of the mobile versions,just upgraded graphics that look terrible still.

It's bad when the PS2 version still looks better, character models don't look ridiculous and look out of place with the environment.

This. I'm having fun with them. Many others are as well. They look great too. From what I've seen they look better than the mobile versions. To even say the originals look better is baffling.

While there are issues, people are being way too hard on them for whatever reason.

If you think a port of the mobile versions look better LOL. That's all these are, they're mobile versions ported to consoles. There is no excuse for Rockstar being this lazy and flat out lying to people.

The gameplay is taken directly from the mobile versions.. that's a good reason to be pissed.

Port or not they still look better than the PS2 versions, largely because modern mobile devices are stronger than a PS2

If that's true then that's fair. I never played the mobile versions so I'm having fun with them. It's like that TBS(?) tag line: "If you haven't seen it (or played it), it's new to you." I'm happy with them.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Sure, and I agree with you on how they left us single player fans in the dust, and that there are legitimate criticisms towards these definitive editions, but some of the complaints I've heard about them are just silly (like saying the originals looked better) and some act like they're complete garbage or something.

Oh they 100% know. They're just not gonna say anything until they fix the issue and remove the unlicensed songs that's still in the game to protect themselves from lawsuits.

Rockstar lied, they gave no gameplay footage prior to release. They didn't say the games were going to be a mobile port, have mechanics from the mobile versions or play exactly like the mobile versions.

People have a right to be pissed when lied to especially if they'd paid $60 for 3 mobile ports. I'm glad I got to play San Andreas on gamepass instead of paying for a fucking mobile port, I'm still pissed because customers like myself were lied to about the games.

If you like playing mobile games on console fine, but don't act like people can't be rightfully pissed off.

I was expecting an updated version of the ps2 version not some bullshit mobile port with mechanics from the mobile version.

The Trilogy gameplay mechanics are taken from the mobile versions at least that's the case with San Andreas. So no, it doesn't play better than the original game. Most if not all of the gameplay is taken from the mobile version.

It does, the character models don't clash with the environment.

The gamplay isn't just lifted from the mobile version like it is with the "definitive" edition.

No one is saying that. But what you are saying is no one can like the games. You outright said someone's opinion is trash for liking it. You are acting like you are being attack for criticisms when the reality is you went on the attack first for anyone liking them game and regurgitating the same post over and over again.

On a technical level, yes, they took the code from the mobile version and used that as the basis to create this one - much like how they created that one using the original PS2 version (or perhaps the PC or Xbox etc version) as a base. That's kind of how remasters work - they take an existing version of the game and port it to something new, while replacing the assets with improved ones. I'm not sure why you think the fact that it was once on mobile is some kind of "gotcha"; if the quality is bad it's bad, if it's good it's good, regardless of what other platforms it's been on.

Unfortunately, it does indeed seem the quality of these is shit. But that's nothing to do with what other platforms the game has been on - it's to do with the port being low-effort in general.

It wouldn't be as bad if the gameplay wasn't lifted directly from the mobile version, that's what pissed off a lot of people including me. Plus being lied to by Rockstar and them not showing any gameplay footage, just a 1 minute trailer.
